Recipe #14 - Cauliflower Crust Pizza カリフラワーdeピザ生地

This was one of the best and most healthy pizzas we've had since we changed to a gluten-free diet!
Most of the ingredients and methods were borrowed from Katie from the Kitchen's recipe (Food Network) - though I made it with less ingredients and an easier method! :)

Directions

- I strongly recommend to use the machine however, as it would make the whole thing a lot easier...:D

3. Put it in a bowl and pour over 3 tablespoons of water, then cover the bowl,

and microwave to steam for 5 minutes.

4. Begin preheating the oven to 200℃.

5. Remove from microwave and wait until it cools down, then pour the steamed cauliflower onto a tea towel.

6. Squeeze out as much water inside the cauliflower as possible - the more water you can get rid of, the better the dough will become :)

7. Put the cauliflower into the bowl, then add salt, garlic powder, eggs and cheese, and mix well until well-combined.

8. Lightly oil a baking sheet, and spread on the mixture (it was a mistake that I used the aluminium foil here, since the foil sticked to the dough, and I had a hard time getting it off! :D)

n.b. The mixture can be much less watery.
My one is quite watery only because I didn't use many parts of the cauliflower, as I gave up mincing them, and adding 2 eggs was obviously a little too much.
So, I highly recommend to use the food processor (or be more patient) and increase the amount of cauliflower you use - it was still absolutely lovely though!

9. Put in the oven to bake for 20 minutes until nicely browned.

10. Next, put the topping on and bake for another 10 minutes, or until all the toppings are well-cooked.

Bon appetit!

For the topping:

1 and 1/2 tablespoons of ketchup

1 and 1/2 tablespoons of tomato puree

1 teaspoon of dried basil

1 fresh mozzarella, sliced

Some sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Cheers!
